Since we are almost always hiking with the kids, we've learnt these are essential for a successful hiking session:• plenty of water• snacks: trail mix (make your own!), bars, bananas or apples, baby snacks• sunscreen is a must!• hats• insect repellent• sturdy shoes

The best part? They all fit nicely into our MAIKA adjustable roll top backpack.

Not only is it lightweight enough to lug around for a few miles, seeing how we've had more than a couple of accidental spills, we're pretty happy about the waterproof lining.😉
